Kylie Minogue blames Sia for sexy album


Kylie Minogue has blamed Sia for making her album about sex.

The ‘All the Lovers’ hitmaker has teamed up with the producer for her forthcoming album ‘Kiss Me Once’ – which includes tracks ‘Sexy Love’, ‘Sexercize’ and ‘Les Sex’ – and insists she encouraged her to put a cheeky spin on her tracks to make them sound hotter.

Kylie said: "Sia is executive producer with me, which is amazing and a little dream come true, and there was a certain point on the album where we had countless songs, and she said, ‘we need some sex on there.. we need a hot song’.

"Next thing I know there’s ‘Sexy Love’, ‘Sexercize’ and ‘Les Sex’! And even looking at the album titles, trying to figure out what makes it on the album, I thought ‘I can’t really do that’, and then I thought ‘yeah, I really have to do that because they’re all really great songs’. And I couldn’t call them anything else, because that’s what they are."

Meanwhile, the 45-year-old singer – who has a duet with Enrique Iglesias on the album – has confessed she would love to collaborate with Prince in the near future because, although she’s written a track with him before, she’s never sung with him.

She explained in a Q&A with Spotify: "[I would love to duet with] Prince. The 14-year old me.. The fact that I have met Prince… I could be on Cloud 9 forever. I met him around the Diamonds and Pearls Tour."

She added: "Yes, [I’ve written with him] a long time ago. But I haven’t sung with him. That would be amazing! It might happen one day."
